Psalms 64:5-7 in English

⁵ They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

⁶ They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

⁷ But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

⁵ Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and adopted; he shall dwell in thy courts; we shall be filled with the good things of thy house; thy temple is holy.

⁶ Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

⁷ who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

⁵ They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk with each other about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one RHQ will see what we are doing,

⁷ But it will be as though God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
